Article Synopsis
- - A study investigated the effects of high-dose inhaled nitric oxide on improving oxygen levels in adults with severe COVID-19 related respiratory failure by comparing it to standard care.
- - Results showed that the inhaled nitric oxide group had a greater increase in the Pa/Fi ratio (oxygen levels) at 48 hours and had a higher proportion of participants reaching satisfactory oxygen levels at 28 days compared to the control group.
- - Although inhaled nitric oxide improved oxygenation, there were no significant differences in survival rates and ventilation duration at 28 or 90 days, and no serious adverse effects were reported.
Background: Parturients undergoing caesarean section in general anaesthesia have an increased risk of desaturating during anaesthesia induction. Pre- and peri-oxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen prolong the safe apnoea time but data on parturients undergoing caesarean section under general anaesthesia are limited. This pilot study aimed to investigate the clinical effects and frequency of desaturation in parturients undergoing caesarean section in general anaesthesia pre- and peri-oxygenated with high-flow nasal oxygen and compare this to traditional pre-oxygenation using a facemask.

Methods: We evaluated 77 patients in two ICUs (Sweden and Australia).
Purpose: To estimate medical and indirect costs to the Department of Defense (DoD) that are associated with tobacco use, being overweight or obese, and high alcohol consumption.
Design: Retrospective, quantitative research.
Setting: Healthcare provided in military treatment facilities and by providers participating in the military health system.
